BCCI: There is still a lot of curiosity among the fans about the next head coach of Team India. Actually, after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid was relieved of this responsibility. Since then this post is vacant. Everyone's eyes were on BCCI, who it is going to hand over this responsibility to.

Now, according to the news coming in, the name of India's next head coach has been finalised. This is none other than former Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni's idol and one of India's legendary players. Let's know in detail who we are talking about.

BCCI will make this legend the next head coach

For some time now, there have been reports on social media that former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir will be appointed as the next head coach of Team India. He was also interviewed for this post. However, his name was not announced later.

After Rahul Dravid's tenure ended, VVS Laxman was sent with the Indian team in this role on the Zimbabwe tour. In such a situation, some media reports are claiming that Laxman is going to be made the head coach permanently. However, an official announcement from the BCCI is still awaited.

He has played this role many times before

This is not the first time that VVS Laxman has been made a temporary or interim coach. This former veteran cricketer has guided the Indian team in many series and tournaments many times before. Earlier, Laxman had gone to China as the head coach of Team India during the Asian Games held last year. Currently, he is the director of the National Cricket Academy.

India's campaign started with a defeat
